They shared a new message confirming they’re going to release Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown on Mac devices. Additionally, they’ve confirmed that they’re working on new projects. This likely includes the rumored Rayman remake.
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is the first new entry in the series in over fifteen years. The game returns the series to its 2D roots. It also shares a lot of similarities to the Metroidvania genre. Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown went gold and released on January 18. The game supports 60 FPS on all platforms, including Nintendo Switch in both docked and handheld modes.
Our review of the game describes it as a “fantastic introduction to the Metroidvania genre. Despite a predictable story and graphical oddities, the game’s accessibility options, unique gameplay, and thrilling level design makes it a great choice for anyone hoping to get into the Metroidvania genre for the first time.” Lastly, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is available now on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, and it’s coming to iOS and Android on April 14.
